American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 458 Amacham Experimental Park
At 2 p.m., the Pacific Fleet stopped 20 nautical miles from the bay area.

General Fran Hammer, the commander-in-chief, also appeared on the fleet.

Hammer asked his adjutant.

"Any news about Mr. Roy Black?"

"General, Miss Jay has been sent to contact Roy Black, and we should have news soon."

Hammer nodded, and then another subordinate came over to report.

"General, the vanguard and marines are ready and can be deployed at any time."

"Great! I want to meet these awesome young men!"

Hammer went to another warship, where 120 soldiers stood neatly on the deck, half of whom were Marines and half were FEARs, each consisting of four squads.

Looking at these young faces, Hammer felt a pang of sadness.

Because this mission was extremely dangerous, it was uncertain how many of these 120 young people would be able to return alive.

"General, everything is ready. Please say a few words!"

Hammer was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Children, I have to tell you the truth: there is a very high chance that you will not come back alive from this mission. Are you mentally prepared?"

Upon hearing this, the 120 soldiers all showed expressions of astonishment, probably because no one had ever told them before that they might not be able to return alive from the mission they were about to carry out.

"This mission is extremely dangerous, beyond what the Pentagon can assess! Your enemy may be some incomprehensible supernatural force! They will torture you physically and even mentally, destroying your faith!"

Most people who choose to join the army in this era are religious, unlike 20 years later when some people join the U.S. military for gender reassignment purposes.

Therefore, what Hammer said was a very serious issue, so much so that there was silence on the deck and many soldiers began to waver.

Hammer took a deep breath and continued speaking in a firm tone.

"If I were thirty years younger, I would definitely fight alongside you! But now, I am no longer young, so I can only entrust this arduous task to you! For the sake of this country, there are some things that must be done, do you understand what I mean?"

Here I make a promise! Regardless of whether you succeed in completing the mission, I will not let you bleed or shed tears! Please, you must complete this mission!

Hearing Hammer's sincere words, the 120 soldiers were energized again.

These soldiers were all handpicked warriors, so they were mentally prepared for death.

After all, the Marine Corps and FEAR are inherently high-risk branches of service, often undertaking missions with a high mortality rate.

Hammer's honesty deeply moved the soldiers, who all expressed their determination.

"General Hammer, we will definitely complete the mission!"

"God bless America!"

"God bless America!" ×120!

Amidst shouts of encouragement, 120 soldiers boarded the troop transport ship and prepared to depart.

Yes, we didn't take a helicopter.

Because the situation at the Amacham Experimental Park is currently unclear, even military satellites cannot capture images of the island. It seems that some kind of powerful electromagnetic interference is covering the entire Amacham Experimental Park, and even the American military cannot obtain any information.

That's why Hammer said these soldiers might not come back alive.

In this situation, taking a helicopter to the site is practically suicide. If a helicopter crashes, very few people will survive. Troop transport ships are much safer.

Standing on the deck, Hammer silently watched the troop transport ship sail away.

The adjutant, looking worried, walked up to Hammer.

"General, what you just said might not be good if it gets back to the Pentagon!"

Hammer turned and glared angrily at his adjutant.

"What do you mean! Is there anything wrong with what I said? What could the Pentagon possibly have to say!"

The adjutant opened his mouth, but actually it had nothing to do with whether there was a problem or not; the key point was that Hammer was perfectly normal.

A normal person becomes the special one among a group of abnormal people.

Hammer was ostracized by many colleagues precisely because he was too normal, and was eventually sent to the Bay Area to take the blame.

Although Hammer was willing to take the blame, he figured he should do some of the work himself, since it was better to leave the rest to some incompetent people.

Hammer was somewhat prepared for this, but he still underestimated the limits of some people's morals.

Human beings possess unparalleled potential, but also an appallingly low limit.

You can never imagine what those filthy guys are capable of doing unless you're one of them.

The adjutant sighed, knowing he couldn't persuade Hammer. He himself had chosen to follow Hammer because of Hammer's character.

"General, we still need to be prepared!"

Hammer's deep gaze fell upon the Amacham campus; the troop transport ships were no longer in sight.

"I've always been prepared!"

On the other side, Roy successfully found an old-fashioned small yacht. Although the electronic equipment on it was damaged, it could still be started.

Anyway, Roy and Adrian only need to sail near the shore, so the lack of electronic equipment won't have a big impact, as long as they can start up.

Once aboard, Adrian offered to drive, but considering he had already wrecked a boat, Roy preferred Claudia to drive rather than Adrian.

If the ship breaks down at sea, wouldn't that waste a lot of time?

On the way, Roy also received a satellite phone call.

“Hello, this is Roy Black.”

"Roy, it's me, Jay!"

Roy didn't expect it to be Miss Jay calling him.

To be honest, the two had rarely been in contact since they parted ways on Misty Island, usually only talking on the phone once or twice a month, and there was never much to say on those calls.

Unfortunately, Miss Jay works in naval intelligence, a sensitive field, so there are many things she can't say over the phone.

"Roy, I'm heading to the Amacham Experiment Park now. I'll signal from the shore when we meet up!"

"Jay, are you going to the Amacham Experimentation Park too?"

Upon hearing this, Roy frowned deeply. He didn't really want Miss Jay to participate in this operation because he couldn't be sure what would happen at the Amacham Experimental Park.

This operation is clearly not suitable for ordinary people to participate in.

"Roy, it's not just me; the Marines and FEAR have also been mobilized. I'm specifically here to pick you up!"

"What did you say? Jay, stop the Marines and FEAR immediately! The Amacham Experiment Park is extremely dangerous; it's not a place for ordinary people to get involved!"

Miss Jay on the other end of the phone paused for a moment before answering Roy.

"I'll contact General Hammer right now and call you back shortly!"

Miss Jay hung up the phone quickly and called back a few minutes later.

"Roy, this is bad! The Marines and FEAR have landed at Amacham! There's signal jamming there, we can't contact them anymore!"

There's nothing anyone can do about this situation.

"Jay, don't rush into anything, wait until I get there!"

"Okay, Roy, I'm waiting for you at the bridgehead outside the island in the Amacham Industrial Park!"

"I understand!" After hanging up the phone, Adrian asked Roy.

"what's going on?"

"The federal government has sent people to the Amacham campus. Hopefully, things won't turn out too badly!"

Adrian was speechless.

"Is the federal government really that confident?"

Roy nodded helplessly.

"After this country was fortunate enough to become the only superpower, a strange sense of self-confidence permeated the entire nation."

"Excessive self-confidence is arrogance."

Roy nodded, then steered the yacht toward the bridge.

An hour later, Roy stopped his boat under the bridge. There was no dock there, but the distance posed no difficulty for Roy and Adrian.

"Roy!"

Upon meeting, Miss Jay gave Roy a warm hug, the intensity of which, as if she wanted to merge into Roy's body, fully demonstrated Miss Jay's longing for Roy.

Although the area around the cross-sea bridge is relatively remote and may not be subject to nuclear radiation, Miss Jay still wore a full protective suit and carried a Geiger counter.

"Jay, what's the situation over there?"

After expressing her longing, Miss Jay quickly returned her attention to her work.

“I just observed through military binoculars that there are guards at the entrance to the Amacham experimental park.”

"Oh? Let me see the binoculars."

Miss Jay handed the binoculars to Roy.
The cross-sea bridge is more than ten kilometers long, and even with Roy's excellent eyesight, it would be difficult to observe what is happening on the other side of the bridge.

Using state-of-the-art military binoculars, Roy successfully observed the entrance to the Amacham Experimental Park, where there were indeed many mercenaries dressed in Montenegrin military company uniforms.

Moreover, Roy discovered more details than Miss Jay.

These mercenaries from the Montenegrin military company all had stiff expressions, looking like something terrible had happened at home, and their eyes were all orange.

"Adrian, there seems to be something wrong with those mercenaries; their eyes are orange!"

"let me see!"

Adrian observed for a while and came to a conclusion.

"It is indeed the power of the Famine Knights. It seems that the source of all the problems lies in that experimental park."

Should we force our way in?

These Black Mountain mercenaries have clearly been taken into custody; they might all be dead.

If Roy and his group force their way in, they are likely to be discovered by the mastermind behind it all.

"Perhaps I can try to purify the evil power within them."

Adrian offered a suggestion, but it was essentially no different from forcing his way in.

At this moment, Miss Jay, who was still observing with her military binoculars, noticed some changes.

"Look! Those mercenaries are starting to move!"

"Oh?"

Roy took the military binoculars and observed that the Black Mountain mercenaries who had been guarding the entrance had indeed begun to move.

Miss Jay quickly came up with a possibility.

"Could it be that the Marines and FEAR have launched their attack after landing?"

This speculation is quite reasonable. Although Roy did not want more innocent people to be involved in this incident, the strong attack by the Marines and FEAR did have an effect.

"Perhaps so, we should take action!"

This was a perfect opportunity, so Roy took Miss Jay and rode on Claudia's back, while Adrian grew wings and flew alongside them.

Well, Miss Jay was quite startled when she saw Adrian with wings, because Raphael's existence is currently only known to the higher-ups, unlike Elise, who is deeply involved in FEA's work and is basically known to people in FEA and the military.

Soon, Roy and his two companions crossed the sea bridge and arrived at the Amacham Experimental Park.

As Roy passed through the checkpoint, he suddenly felt as if he had crossed some kind of membrane, as if an invisible barrier had turned the Amacham Experiment Park into two different worlds.

"This is……"

Roy looked at Adrian and noticed that the other man's expression was very serious.

"It's a domain. To be able to create a domain that covers such a vast area, this kind of power..."

Although Adrian and Roy both knew that the mastermind behind this was very powerful, the current situation still surprised them greatly.

Moreover, the light inside the Amacham experimental area turned orange, just like the one Roy had seen in his hallucinations.

"Roy, I feel so suffocated!"

Miss Jay, who was standing nearby, started breathing rapidly and seemed to be in a very bad state. Roy quickly put his arm around her.

"How could this be? Adrian, can you tell what field it is?"

"I don't know, but what is certain is that this kind of domain will slowly devour our hearts."

As he spoke, Adrian picked up his guitar and played a few notes. Miss Jay immediately felt much better, and her breathing became calmer.

"Okay, let's keep moving forward!"

Amacham's experimental park is enormous, possibly covering tens of square kilometers, an area larger than some small towns, and contains a great many buildings.

Fortunately, Miss Jay had a map of the experimental park.

"We are currently in the administrative area of ​​the Amacham Experimental Park. This is generally where the staff work, and there might be some information here. Do you want to go up and take a look?"

Roy did not agree immediately.

"Is the laboratory in the middle?"

"Yes, this is Amacham's largest laboratory, covering an area of ​​100,000 square meters. It is Amacham's most important asset."

"Jay, do you know where the Marines and FEAR will land?"

Miss Jay pointed to the map on the military terminal and told Roy.

"This is the dormitory area of ​​the Amacham Experimental Park. The terrain is relatively flat, and there's even a beach. If we want to land, this is the most suitable place!"

After thinking for a moment, Roy decided to meet up with the Marines and FEAR first before deciding on the next step.

"Let's go! We'll head to the dormitory area and meet up with the Marines and FEAR first."

Upon hearing Roy's decision, Adrian showed an expression of approval.

The three began moving towards the dormitory area.

As they approached the dormitory area, Roy and his group heard intense gunfire. It seemed that Miss Jay's guess was correct; the Marines and FEAR had indeed landed here.

"Let's go!"

Roy took out the Leviathan Axe, ready to start the battle, when suddenly his vision began to blur.

(Miss Jay, the actress, also played the Mockingbird in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)
